THE TANGER MED FOUNDATION SUPPORTS COMMUNITY COOPERATIVES

As part of its efforts to support income-generating activities, the Tanger Med Foundation is supporting two cooperatives as part of the “Generation Solidaire” National Prize launched by the Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts, Air Transport, and Social Economy on the occasion of World Cooperative Day.

On an official ceremony held on Wednesday, July 7th in Rabat, the Foundation subsidized the two cooperatives “Nour AlMandil” for handicrafts and “Khayrat Chamal” for cheese production based respectively in the province of Fahs Anjra and the M’diq-Fnideq prefecture.

In addition to financial support, the Foundation plans to provide all the necessary support so that the projects can be integrated into the artisanal and agricultural production sectors:networking, marketing assistance, sharing of best practices, etc. A support program will be set up in collaboration with the Office for the Development of Cooperation to closely follow the progress of the projects.

The initiative is in line with the Foundation’s desire to promote fair trade, to enhance local expertise, and to help local talent to enter the national market. It will enable young stakeholders to improve their living conditions and cope with the fallout of the COVID-19 health crisis.
